Continuous hydrogen production reactor with photosynthetic bacteria

Abstract

The invention relates to a continuous hydrogen production reactor with photosynthetic bacteria, which comprises a shell. The shell is provided with a feeding opening at one end and a discharging opening at the other end, the inner wall of the shell is alternately provided with an upper baffle plate and a lower baffle plate in a direction perpendicular to the flowing direction of feed liquid, a gap is formed between the lower end of the upper baffle plate and the bottom wall of the shell, a gap is formed between the upper end of the lower baffle plate and the top wall of the shell, the upper baffle plate and the lower baffle plate are longitudinally arranged to alternately divide the shell into an ascending area and a descending area, an illumination device is arranged in the shell corresponding to the ascending area, and an air collecting hole is arranged at the top of the shell. Due to the structure of the continuous hydrogen production reactor with photosynthetic bacteria, feed liquid flowing in the shell alternately passes by the descending area and the ascending area to alternately pass by a black environment (the descending area) and an illumination environment (the ascending area) so that the illumination device is needless to switch on or off occasionally, the operation process is greatly simplified, and the service life of the illumination device is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photosynthetic bacteria continuous hydrogen production reactor. Background technique [0002] Photosynthetic bacteria are a class of prokaryotic organisms with primitive photosynthetic systems, which can convert organic matter into hydrogen under anaerobic light conditions. The use of photosynthetic bacteria to produce hydrogen is considered to be one of the most potential ways of hydrogen energy production in the future. The hydrogen production process of photosynthetic bacteria requires light as the driving force for hydrogen production. In order to meet the requirements for light in the hydrogen production process of photosynthetic bacteria, traditional photosynthetic hydrogen production reactors are generally made of glass or plexiglass, but due to the hydrogen production of photosynthetic bacteria The absorption of light by the feed liquid limits the penetration of light and limits the volume of the reactor. At the same...

The hydrogen production process of photosynthetic bacteria requires light as the driving force for hydrogen production. In order to meet the requirements for light in the hydrogen production process of photosynthetic bacteria, traditional photosynthetic hydrogen production reactors are generally made of glass or plexiglass, but due to the hydrogen production of photosynthetic bacteria The absorption of light by the feed liquid limits the penetration of light and limits the volume of the reactor. At the same time, the material properties of glass or plexiglass also limit the processing of the reactor and the adjustment during the reaction process to a certain extent.
